About me

I'm a former biology researcher who's recently discovered my passion for data science and programming. Generating and analyzing my first large-scale genomic dataset granted me insight into how data science can accelerate our understanding of complex systems.

I began taking statistics and computer science courses and decided to switch fields. I enrolled at the Institute for Advanced Analytics to improve my data analysis skills. After completing my studies in May of 2024, I joined the Durham VA as a biostatistician.
